We are in the process of migrating of CA's TCPACCESS to IBM TCP/IP. We have quite a few production jobs that execute PGM=REMCMND and are trying to get PGM=REXEC to function on Windows. It works fine going to UNIX servers. Does anyone have any experience running REXEC from MVS/USS to a windows box?

Do you have a client on Windows? I have not done this with REXEC (never used it because I've heard it is rather insecure) but I have done this type of thing from non-MVS systems with SSH (which is more secure) using a cygwin client on Windows. I'd suspect that cygwin would provide whatever you need.

You might want to look into SSH instead of REXEC. I believe there are ports of OpenSSH for z/OS and there are probably commercial SSH implementations there too (if it isn't native by this time, I don't know).
